But I think I have a soft spot for constructions crews because my husband worked on the road for years and I know how much he hated staying in hotels.

@Zack Berridge  Soft costs are never linear, but it's nice to know what amount you need to save to cover your costs.

Subdivide property this is where having roads on more than one side brings value, clear brush, add pond, plant trees, add boulders, Look for nasty ground and add value.  

Yes just like @Bruce Woodruff explained a light blanket is much easier to clean and keep nice, just don't get the fuzzy ones your cleaners will hate you, go for regular soft ones you can buy at Walmart. 

In my area, we have Tastykakes and soft pretzels.

We then use Google Spreadsheets to track the numbers and then attach the spreadsheets to the Podio project page via soft link.

Does anyone have recommendations on one that they have used and works well, that doesn't get soft around the edges?

I approached him about contributing a portion of their funds early to help cover some of the predevelopment soft costs like geo-tech and architect fees.

I guess what I am wondering about is waht could be called 'soft time' compared to fixing things, doing leases, etc......And for what it is worth, my partners and I are GREAT at tracking time (we use Google's Toggl app) as that if part of how we split profits for the work we each put into our joint properties. 

Soft costs are low for me.
